(All the reports fade away. SHIVER sighs. Opening theme. Cut to Mincemeat Metalworks. FRYE and BIG MAN are commentating.)

Frye-Who's ready for some Tower Control at Mincemeat Metalworks?

Big Man-Me!

Frye-Team colors are pink and green!

(BRIDGETT, HIRO, and SPIDER are pink. BRIDGETT has the Clash Blaster. SHUMI and INKURA are green.)

Frye-What do you think about the Clash Blaster on pink, Big Man?

Big Man-(booth) Hm...It crayons in is covered looks like.

Frye-(booth) Actually, never mind.

Big Man-Ready...

Frye/Big Man-Go!

(The players launch onto the arena. BRIDGETT fires ahead of her and swims forward.)

Frye-I think the Clash Blaster makes a very nice sound. PA PA PA PA PA!

Big Man-(booth) Frye, stop! You me on saliva are getting!

(BRIDGETT jumps into the center. She swims up onto the bridge. She fires at INKURA, who is on the ground. SPIDER splats her instead. BRIDGETT sees an E-Liter in the distance and hides. A curling bomb slides past her. She throws a bomb at the E-Liter and misses.)

Bridgett-Missed.

(The E-Liter misses her.)

Frye-So...is anyone gonna get the tower?

(BRIDGETT swims forward and throws another bomb, splatting the E-Liter.)

Bridgett-Yeah! I got 'em!

Big Man-Green the tower has.
